A little walk down memory lane
I was going through some CD's from way back and found a copy of CF 4.5.2. WOW, I gave it a little load just to see the old the screen - Click here to reminisce in 800x553px.
Just to remind you, CF 4.5.2:
- is before UDF's
- is before CFDUMP
- is before queries of queries
- is before CFGRAPH
- .... and thats without me going into a comparison against CFMX 6.1, CFMX 7
- it did bring page caching
- and automatic shared variable locking

Wow, that's neat. Without looking, I'd guess that that's from around 1999?
I started out on version 3, and I was using that in '97 or '98.

Actually CFDUMP was around way before ColdFusion 4.5. It was a custom tag offered by http://www.smart-objects.com (I'm not sure the site is around anymore). I had been using it since CF4.0. (I still have CFDUMP v1.3 which introduced WDDX support).
To my knowledge the programmer that introduced it to me way back then (either in 1999 or 2000. I can't remember.) said that it was originally written for ASP.
I'm guessing that by CF5 Macromedia (or Allaire) purchased the tag and rewrote it (If you notice, its actually in the Custom Tags folder in CF5, where in CFMX its included as an actual CF tag).

Also, don't forget that CF4.5 introduced structures (which many of us quickly fell in love with).
